• 0.5 tsp pure vanilla extract Shop
• 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste) Shop

Instructions

1. 1 Prepare your ingredients by juicing the lime and ensuring your chosen fruit is ready. Measure out the unsweetened coconut water, chia seeds, pure vanilla extract, and optional sweetener.
2. 2 Combine the frozen or fresh fruit, unsweetened coconut water, fresh lime juice, chia seeds, pure vanilla extract, and optional honey or maple syrup into the carafe of a high-speed blender. Add the ice cubes last.
3. 3 Secure the lid and blend on a high setting for approximately 60 to 90 seconds. Continue blending until the mixture is completely smooth and has a uniform, creamy consistency, with no visible chunks of fruit or ice.
4. 4 Carefully taste the blended mixture and adjust the sweetness if desired by adding a little more honey or maple syrup, then blend for an additional 10 seconds to incorporate.
5. 5 Pour the finished drink into two serving glasses immediately. Garnish with a lime wedge or a sprig of mint for an extra touch of freshness.

Tips & Notes

• Use plain coconut water with no added flavors. Coconut water is thin, so frozen fruit gives this drink most of its body.
• Add the lime juice gradually and taste as you go. Too much lime overpowers the light, delicate taste of the coconut water.
• Mint goes well with lime and coconut. Blend in a few leaves, or use a sprig as the garnish in step 5.
